A Civilian Salute
The red, the white, the blue
The patriotic few
That gave their life, fight and die
So we can smile, though mothers cry
Wars are fought
Wars are lost
Wars are won
But at what cost
It's painted on their faces
With camo and expression
They fought to free torn places
To save from domestic oppression
The patriotic few

So we can smile, though mothers cry
Wars are fought
Wars are lost
Wars are won
But at what cost
It's painted on their faces
With camo and expression
They fought to free torn places
To save from domestic oppression

Dear CC,
Without their bravery and commitment I shudder to think where we’d be?! Kudos for this find homage to all those who serve on our behalf. Lovely write. H🌷
